Meanwhile,

Fame. But this recognition is
doubly special.

“I¢’s always an honour to
go in, to be realized with your
teammates is better,” Wilson
said. “It was a great team. It
wasn’t just the °85 ceam, it was
that whole '80s era. It was a
winning team, and we only
managed to get that one
championship.”

That one championship
came in Montreal at the
expense of the Hamilton
Tiger-Cats. The Lions had
only won the CFL’s top prize
once before in 1964. Wilson
said it was the fans.who made
it a spectacular experience.

“That’s what impressed us
the most is what it meant to
the fans. As a professional ath-
lete you have your own indi-
vidual goals and we enjoyed it.
Ic was a pinnacle in our careers,
but we were really worked up
when we came home and
found out how important it
was to our fans who supported
us. They weren’t just buying
tickets, they actually felt a part
of it.”
